Book Description

Excerpt from A History of Oneonta, From Its Earliest Settlement, to the Present Time In preparing this work for publication the aim of the author has been to put in preservative form such information as has been gathered from private and public documents and from the tradition of the older inhabitants who were "To the manor born," but who have passed away. In addition to a historical sketch published about twenty years ago, this work contains a large amount of new matter which has been gathered during the time that has elapsed since that publication. Among other additions this work contains various acts of the legislature regarding the town and affecting its interests, together with a complete list of the inhabitants who were known to be voters residing here in 1830 - the date when the town was organized - and this list must be nearly a correct poll-list of the first town election held. The work is brought down to the present time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
